A slightly different style of podcast for this week's episode of Behind The Glass; I meet Rimac's CEO and Founder, Mate Rimac.

[S2, E2] Formula 1 & Getting Stopped By The Police
Welcome to another episode of Behind The Glass. This week you join Viki and I in Bulgaria.

Other topics we discussed;06:00 - Niki Lauda09:00 - Is This The End Of F1?15:50 - My New Appreciation Of BMW21:45 - New McLaren GT26:00 - My Rimac Filming Fail32:33 - Our Drive To Bulgaria36:25 - Viki Gets Stopped By The Police40:00 - Where Am I Excited About Visiting Next43:30 - What Cars Do I Want To DriveHope you enjoy!
